Corner to corner double knit blankie. This pattern is as challenging as it is precious. The two sided effect from double knitting, paired with the bias direction and garter boarders give this an overall unique construction. The 1 size needle, 2 weights of yarn and 3 gauges make it adventurous for even experienced knitters.

14” sq Security/Lovey: 1 each
24” sq Carseat/Stroller Lap: 2 each
26” x 30”Cuddle & Cover: 3 each
32” x 36” Large Stroller: 4 each
38” x 45” Sleep & Play: 6 each

Note: Interchangeable needles are recommended, as they allow you to use cords as lifelines or to place them. Even advanced knitters can get into trouble seeing the a dropped stitch in the furry side. Using certain IC needles, you can strand a DKish weight yarn for a lifeline or for all of them, you can simply remove a tip, place a cap, place tip on a new cord with a cap, knit the row, replace other tip with cap and your lifeline is in place, then remove cap on new cord and replace with tip and keep on knitting!
